dramas of my life

Today, is one of my unplanned “day off” from MOMMYHOOD.

Why day off ? Because I have to go out of the house without the princess. And of course I was able to do this through the MIL’s generosity — she went to our house coming from Cavite to take care of Anevay just so I can take my ‘day off’.
But of course, I did not went out of the house for no reason. The primary reason is that I am going to Eastwood to get our new account number from EPCIB now BDO. I do not know what happen but last Saturday, I was not able to withdraw from my EPCIB and BDO atms, this are two different accounts open in two different branch. Not sure why. So, I decided that I should go and settle our accounts in EPCIB IBM BRANCH. And unfortunately, I spent a good one hour sitting at the branch waiting for my turn. Because, the branch is also processing the payroll of the IBM and IBS. And all other offices in the EASTWOOD AREA.

I admit, one time or another, as a stay at home wife and a mother, i get BORED. Sometimes boredom comes with a pinch of depression. Depression have been with me since I have LUPUS. It just comes, and when I am depressed and I cannot point out the reason, I know that a flare up might be coming.

But with my husband’s help, who even is miles away from me can detect what I am feeling through my text messages, I can seem to identify boredom and depression and act against it.

Anevay and I woke up early. 5:30 to be exact. Actually, i sense that both of us wanted some more sleep but we are preoccupied by something we need to do that’s why we were forced to wake up.

Me..i needed to check if the garbage truck have already passed by. And then I realized that the collection of the biodegradable waste is tomorrow. You see, Marikina is very strict when it comes to waste management. And unfortunately, on our area the collection of waste is really early. Around 5:30 to 6:oo and we are not allowed to put out the garbage until the garbage truck is in front of our house. Urgh!

Looking at the princess now, a lot of things comes to my mind. Some I cannot remember and some I try to remember and some i always remember.

Like this one….what would Anevay be as she grows up. What would she be like ? What would she like ? This thinking got me reminiscing my childhood. How i grow up, my decisions, experiences and more which constitute to who I am now.

When we moved to SSS last May, which is very near St. Paul of the Cross Parish, I started bringing Anevay to church. It was a tiring one hour but knowing that this will do good in orienting Anevay to the Catholic faith I pray hard to survived that one hour.

Last two Sundays, I am grateful that I have my husband to help me out with Anevay during mass. And I miss him today. We went on to attend the 7:30 mass and as expected the princess have tired me out. But hey, its part of one the things i wanted to accomplished. And I know God is with me.

Today was such a hard time for me. Not sure why? Maybe I woke up at the wrong side of the bed and Anevay too.

Anevay woke up at around 5:30 and was crying. I thought she was hungry, i got her milk but she does not want to be fed. She wanted to go outside. While I on the other hand want to sleep some more. One of the challenge that I am facing right now is that Anevay wakes up early and I go to bed late because I still have to talk to my husband through YM. Kuwait is 5 hours behind Philippine time. Imagine just how many hours I am able to sleep because of that.

Anevay is quite ok now but still have some colds. Dra. Dee Chan have told me to use salinase drop and the aspirator to clean the nose of the princess and drop another medicine in her nose. Actually, when Anevay was three months , she already told me to use salinase and the aspirator to unclogged her nose but I am hesitant to do that because I know our princess would not like it.

I have been giving Anevay dimetapp and tempra but Dra. told me that dimetapp should only be taken for five days.
